# bin/m3_autoenrich.py

## Purpose

Toggle the M3_AUTO_ENRICH env var on/off, cross-platform.

On every invocation, flips the persistent value: ON -> OFF or OFF -> ON.
After flipping, prints the exact command to revert (so a script log captures
both states).

Persistence:
  - Windows: User scope via `setx` (HKCU\Environment). Persists across sessions.
              Note: existing processes do NOT pick up the new value; only new
              processes inherit it.
  - macOS/Linux: a single-line `export M3_AUTO_ENRICH=...` in
              ~/.config/m3-memory/env, sourced by adding one line to your
              shell rc the first time. Subsequent toggles only rewrite the env
              file; shell rc is left alone.

Detection of current state reads the persistent store, NOT os.environ — that
way the result is consistent regardless of which shell launched this script.

## Re-validation

If the `sha1` above differs from the current file's sha1, the inventory is stale — re-read the tool, confirm flags/env vars/entry-points/calls still match, and regenerate via `python bin/gen_tool_inventory.py`.
